Back in September I stopped by a Dessert Pop Up Shop hosted by Clean Plates here in NYC. At the event, I talked to a few ladies who started up the chocolate company NibMor. Created by two fellow graduates of Integrative Nutrition, NibMor makes organic, vegan chocolate that?s free of refined sugar, dairy, gluten, and GMOs. During the event, I learned about NibMor?s new low-glycemic drinking chocolate which was set to hit shelves this holiday season. Fast forward a few months and I spotted their new Mint Drinking Chocolate on the shelves at Whole Foods this afternoon. I picked up a single packet to try at home.
To make the drink, you just mix the contents of the packet with hot water or your choice of milk. I mixed my packet with half hot water, half unsweetened almond milk. First off, I loved that the drink was not overly sweet (so many cocoa mixes are sickeningly sweet). But this mix was spot on with sweetness. Another thing I love is the simple ingredients. The packet is only organic coconut palm sugar, organic cacao powder, and organic mint flavor. It tastes great, is creamy and comforting when mixed with milk, and is a lovely treat for a cold night over the holidays.
The only thing I would change about the drink is to kick up the mint! The minty flavor is pretty subtle, and for a mint chocolate lover like me, I just wished the mint was stronger.
Overall, I love the drink and would definitely try it again for a quick hot cocoa fix. You could easily split this potassium and magnesium rich dessert drink with a loved one for a low calorie treat.
